Re: Debug output

[damateem <damateem4@gmail.com>]

Ok, if I set debug as follows

vfd->debug =V4L2_DEBUG_IOCTL | V4L2_DEBUG_IOCTL_ARG;

I can see the debug trace in dmesg, but this doesn't seem like the
correct way to set the flags.

What is the typical method of setting these debug flags?

Is this the best place to ask these type of questions?

Thanks,
David
